History

In early 1927, Congress of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Districts was held, and the CCP established the Jiangsu District Committee of the CCP. In early June 1927, the District Committee was abolished and replaced with the Jiangsu Provincial Committee. On 2 July 1927, the committee faced heavy losses due to betrayal, leading to its abolition and the establishment of the Jiangsu Provisional Provincial Committee in its place. From 11 to 26 November 1929, the Second Jiangsu Provincial Congress secretly held in Shanghai, and the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was restructured to the Jiangnan Provincial Committee in early October 1930. In January 1931, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished. However, due to repeated arrests, the provincial committee was forced to cease activities in early January 1935. ^[1]

In early November 1937, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished in Shanghai with Liu Xiao as its secretary. In early 1938, the Provincial Committee established an Outer County Working Committee in Pudong to organize anti-Japanese forces. ^[2] On 13 January 1943, the CCP Secretariat decided to abolish the provincial committee and establish an enemy area work department in the Central China Bureau in its place. ^[3] After the proclamation of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949, the Jiangsu Province was divided into south Jiangsu and north Jiangsu administrative regions. After the administrative regions were abolished in 1952, Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished in November 1952, becoming the highest political force of the province. ^[4]

In January 1967, during the Cultural Revolution, the provincial committee was overthrown. In March 1967, the central government decided to establish military rule in the province, and a revolutionary committee was established in March 1968. In December 1970, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished and reorganized to work along with the revolutionary committee. The two institutions began to separate in November 1974. ^[5]
